Play music together… slowly. First Sunday of the month.

La Sansonette

La Sansonette was written by Dominique Forges who is a professor of traditional music in Nevers Conservatoire in France. He taught the tune to Natalie Haas at a fiddle camp in Spain some years ago (as she recounts on the video below) and then we learnt it from listening to her and Alasdair Fraser playing it on their CD Highlander’s Farewell. It lends itself to some great harmonies and some fun arrangements as you can see from some of the following links.
